Antonio Gloria was awarded and appointed as "Future Leader" in Science and Technology ("Dialogue between Nobel Laureates and Future Leaders", STS forum " October 2015, Kyoto, Japan). He gave also invited lectures at international conferences, workshops and seminars. He supervised PhD students and MD students at the University of Naples Federico II and at the CDRSP. His works deal with: design and preparation of polymeric and polymer-based micro/nano-composite scaffolds using "conventional" and additive manufacturing techniques; morphological, mechanical, biological and functional analysis of scaffolds for tissue engineering; modelling/simulation and image analysis; design, preparation and characterization of injectable gels and semi-IPNs; characterization of devices and biological tissues at macro-, micro- and nano-level; design and optimization of polymeric and composite devices for several kinds of applications. In 2016 he was appointed as member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Fraunhofer International Joint Laboratory IDEAS - University of Naples Federico II and member of The Royal Society (UK) - International Exchanges Committee in January 2020. His main research interests include: Design for Additive Manufacturing, Reverse Engineering, Design of Additive Manufactured Magnetic Scaffolds, Magnetic Stimulation, 3D/4D Printing, Reverse Engineering, Modeling, Biomaterials, Tissue Engineering, Biomechanics, Biomimetics and Bioinspiration, Nanomaterials, Design of Experiments, Mechanical Analysis, Materials Properties, Design Methods and Manufacturing, Materials Science and Technology. He is currently author of international papers, book chapters, books, communications/contributions in international and national conferences. He is also reviewer and Editorial Board Member of international scientific journals.
